Eagle Forum Endorses George Faught in 

Oklahoma’s Second Congressional District

 

Washington, D.C. – Eagle Forum PAC, a conservative public policy organization founded by pro-family leader Phyllis Schlafly, is proud to endorse George Faught in the race to represent Oklahoma’s Second Congressional District.  

 

“George is exactly the kind of leader we need in Washington,” said Schlafly.  “He is a tireless defender of life, marriage, fiscal responsibility and national security.”

 

“As a state legislator, George had a 100% pro-life record.” Schlafly noted.  “He also wrote and advocated for legislation to make English Oklahoma’s official language, a measure supported by 87% of Americans.”

 

“George also led the effort to decline federal money for Oklahoma to lay the groundwork for Obamacare,” Schlafly explained.  “Obamacare must be overturned!  If someone is willing to turn down money for his state as a state legislator, we know we can count on him to go the distance in Washington and vote for its complete repeal.”

 

“Now, more than ever, we need Members of Congress who don’t just vote well, but will roll up their sleeves and fight to protect life and marriage and to cut federal spending,” said Schlafly.  “We know George Faught will represent and fight for our values.  We look forward to working with him in Congress.”  

 

Eagle Forum PAC supports candidates who are committed to a conservative philosophy of limited government, national sovereignty and traditional values.
